If your porcelain tableware is stained from dried food or other elements, it is advisable for you to soak them in warm soapy water for several minutes followed by some gentle scrubbing with a light duty scrubbing sponge to wipe away the stains. Take caution in what you use to clean. Do not scrub aggressively, or use any heavy duty or harsh scrubbers or cleansers. If the stain is persistent and hard to remove, do soak it longer.
For tea stains, you can make a solution made of four cups of water and two tablespoons of chlorine bleach followed by soaking your tea cups for a few minutes and rinsing them well.
For scrape marks left by flatwares, use a gentle metal cleaner and make sure to rinse well after the process.
It is not advisable for you to use a dishwasher to clean your porcelain tableware but if you do want to use one, you can use the fine china/porcelain cycle option on low heat. It is important to remember that your porcelain tableware should not touch each other during the cycle so during placing, give it space with one another.
After all, it is best to check the manufacturers’ instruction on the proper cleaning method for your specific tableware set.
